Flowers of the Maldives

Flowers of the Maldives – exotic beauty inspired by the tropics
The Maldives are a symbol of endless romance, crystal clear waters and pristine nature. But besides the beaches and lagoons, the islands hide another treasure – a rich and extremely colorful tropical plant world. The flowers of the Maldives impress with their shape, aroma and resistance to the hot climate and sea air.

The most common flowers of the Maldives
Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis)
Hibiscus is one of the most recognizable flowers of the Maldives and is often used as a symbol of tropical beauty. It is found in bright shades of red, pink, yellow and orange. It blooms year-round, thanks to the warm climate, and its flowers usually live only one day – a symbol of the beauty of the moment.

Frangipani (Plumeria)
Frangipani is perhaps the most romantic flower of the Maldives. The white or cream petals with a yellow center exude a delicate, sweet fragrance that intensifies in the evening. It blooms mainly from spring to late autumn and is often used for wreaths, decorations and traditional ornaments.

Orchids
Tropical orchids grow naturally in the Maldives and are distinguished by an extraordinary variety of shapes and colors. They bloom at different times of the year, with many species having several blooms. Orchids symbolize elegance, love and luxury - qualities that make them a preferred choice in wedding floristry.

Bougainvillea
With its rich pink, purple and fuchsia tones, bougainvillea is an indispensable part of the Maldivian landscape. It blooms almost year-round and is extremely resistant to sun and salt air. It is often used for arches, fences and facades, creating impressive cascades of color.
